I do recall some women being burned alive for "tempting"/"seducing" men with "witchcraft".
That was the law of the time. My point; the law isn't always right.
People who hide behind unjust laws to harm/imprison others
are at least as evil as those who do so of their own volition.
The position that phogirl69 expressed,
that we should follow all laws just because they are written, is dangerous.

If people don't refuse unjust laws, and fight those who create them,
and fight those who enforce them, then they will suffer under them.
If you are a Congressman, Prosecutor, Judge, Agent, or Police Officer,
and you assist the process to roll over the rights of individuals,
then you deserve a share in the blame.
We, everyone, must make it very clear to would-be facists
(and those who may serve as their muscle) that anyone who
participates in modernday witchhunts will be held accountable.
Fire the officers who beat back those marching for civil rights.
Recall the lawmakers who order them.
